Re-Sounding: Introducing an Alternative Metaphor for Organization Change By Rik Spann & Simon Martin Taos Publications, 2021 ISBN: 978-1-938552-80-9 Free book download here: www.taosinstitute.net/re-sounding-introducing-an-alternative-metaphor-for-organization-change The challenges we encounter in our everyday world(s) require updated and sophisticated types of ‘conversation’, literally and in a wider sense. It’s not just about the content, it’s about the relationships, the interactions. Embodied sensemaking offers ideas; the worlds of music, art and design offer new sounds and vistas. An open exploration of the metaphors that shape the potentialities and limitations of our perspectives is a starting point for ‘re-sounding’ any ‘thing’, experience, phenomenon or style of relating, in order to set the stage for another type of being ‘in concert’. Building on complexity science, social constructionism, insights and experiences from the worlds of music, art, dance and design, and the phenomenon of improvisation in all its subtleties, this book invites you into an exploration into what ‘shifting sound’ can do. How can musicological themes and variations like harmony, melody, rhythm, tone, resonance, or dissonance open up tangible options for collaborative action in the face of adaptive challenges and wicked problems? Spann & Martin offer a backstage view into their world and work. Author Bios Rik Spann is an organizational consultant, applied musicologist, artist and jazz musician.
